Sydney State Theatre

The State Theatre Sydney is one of Australia’s most iconic and opulent performance venues, nestled in the heart of the CBD on Market Street. Opened in 1929 as a grand “picture palace,” it is celebrated for its breathtaking interior featuring Gothic, Baroque and Art Deco influences, soaring ceilings, marble staircases and a magnificent crystal chandelier. With seating for over 2,000 guests across multiple levels, the State Theatre remains a premier destination for world-class ballet, theatre, concerts and film premieres, standing today as both a living piece of Sydney’s heritage and a cornerstone of its cultural life.
